Sodium Babies....well,i had heard about this film quite awhile back,and was happy to see it finally released here,stateside. I often hear something about films from my friends,and i know fans around the globe. I have to admit.i,m kinda burnt out on vampire flicks,so i didn't really seek this one out,...it kinda found me.Not since "Paris by night of the living Dead",have i seen any french movies,so i brushed up on my french,and made some popcorn.As a vampire film,its a bit different than this "romantic vamp" fad,that i,m way tired of.It puts a spin on the whole thing,and does so in a very graphic,stylistic way.It also has a lead,that after some time,you sorta like,though, there,s not a lot to like about the guy.That don,t mean you wont like watching his story.His name is Dead Dog,and he,s no hero.The blood-letting is there,along with a decent story,acting,and a look that is compared to Frank Millers"Sin City",All in all,i say its worth a watch,even better if you like vampire movies without the romance angle.

An arty French bore
Leofwine_draca24 April 2018
Warning: Spoilers
SODIUM BABIES is a French arthouse bore, a vampire film shot on an indie budget in Los Angeles. Once again the tired old premise is about a futuristic society inhabited by vampires - you know, much like has been done to death in cinema in the past couple of decades in the likes of BLADE, ULTRAVIOLET, and the UNDERWORLD films. There's no real story here, just a presentation of characters and behaviour that tries to be quirky but quickly becomes tiresome with nothing to tie it all together. The end result is cheap, nasty looking, and very dull indeed.
